The following list of charter companies, clubs and individuals are independent of The Des Moines Register and RAGBRAI officials. They are the only ones sanctioned by The Des Moines Register and RAGBRAI. All arrangements are made between you and the charter operator and do not involve The Des Moines Register and RAGBRAI officials.
NO CHARTER WILL ACCEPT ANYONE WHO DOES NOT HAVE PARTICIPANT CREDENTIALS ISSUED BY RAGBRAI. (The official identifying number is indicated on the wristband and bicycle bands, the baggage tag, the bicycle license plate and the patch certificate.)
No charter can provide you with such credentials or wristbands along with their service.
As part of your paid RAGBRAI registration, you are entitled to place your bag for transport on RAGBRAI’s baggage truck during the week of the ride. You are not obligated to have any charter that takes you to the starting point carry your baggage for the week.
Some charters provide round-trip service from their location to the starting town and back from the ending town. Other charters are just one way to the starting town. All arrangements should be made before July 1. Please contact charters individually for costs of services.
The following Charter information reflects the status of Charters as of the conclusion of RAGBRAI XXXVII. Additional information regarding Charter services for RAGBRAI XXXVIII will be available after the RAGBRAI XXXVIII route announcement.
